The last 24 hours haven't been piled with action, but I did watch Death of A President last night and was quite impressed. I don't really know what to think of the idea of doing something like this; it has a macabre draw to it and like a lot of Channel 4 programming is designed to provoke thought on the boundaries. I know why some major US cinemas are blankly refusing to play it, although I do wonder if it would have so much of a stigma if the idea hadn't come from outside of it's own borders. Technically most of the shots were stylistically strong, but at times they had created footage that wasn't entirely believable, mainly CCTV footage and when the actors made particular comments that we're out of place as they lacked subtlety. It was also strange to consider that amount of information or access to high profile persons would ever be made available after such an event. Verdict, interesting for the format more than for the content.

Today I took a trip into OSH while on the way back from town. I decided to call in to see tech, as it's been over a year since the last time I went down to my old department. Mr Plant, Mr Williamson and Mr O'Neill were all around, and I've organised to go in on Thursday morning to discuss university with some of year 11 in a couple if days.

The rest of the day has had my nose firmly against the grindstone.
